We went to the Web Summit (Lisbon) to launch the Digital Innovation Challenge. Thank you!

date:  18/11/2019

On 7 November, we launched the Digital Innovation Challenge at the Web Summit 2019 in Lisbon.

The Challenge invites SMEs and startups to shape a concept for a service or solution that could be integrated into their company’s business offer, co-create with coaches, pitch their idea at the award ceremony, win up to EUR 50 000 and stand out at European level.

In Lisbon, we had the chance to engage in a rich dialogue with you (+100 SMEs and startups) to see how you could boost your business and shape digital Europe by using open and reusable solutions.

The event generated:

  • +10000 views on social media (incl. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram)
  • +1350 views on the Digital Innovation Challenge homepage and videos
  • +85 registrations to the newsletter and info session
  • +67 workshop participants
  • We also already have completed and submitted applications!

This is a great success and we would like to thank you for attending our workshop.

We would like to do a particular mention to our ambassadors who shared their success stories with passion and commitment. You can check their stories here.

 

But, this is only the beginning...
